The selvage line is a consequence of the selvage loom (an increasingly rare method of weaving denim).
Background: Denim is made by weaving a grid of yarn. The crosswise yarn is called the weft. The lengthwise yarn is called the warp. Old-school Selvage looms create fabric with one continuous weft yarn that is “shuttled” between the warp yarns. The single yarn looping back and forth creates subtle irregularities that make selvage fabrics particularly beautiful. The selvage edge has become a major design motif and looking for creative ways to showcase it.
The hearts of Selvage denim-heads broke when the legendary Cone Mills White Oak Denim plant in Greensboro was shuttered in 2017, when their biggest customer moved their production overseas.
Cone Denim literally filed the patents for denim production in 1905 from that White Oak building. Other cultures would consider a structure with that kind of history a cultural treasure, but that’s not the way it went down. The plant was sold, its buildings gutted, and it has been a WalMart trucking distribution center ever since.
American-made selvage denim is hard to come by these days. A few others are making their interpretive versions of it.
International Textile Group ceased their operations at the Cone Mills White Oak Plant in Greensboro, North Carolina on December 31, 2017. The White Oak Plant had been in operation for over 110 years and will be the last American selvedge denim mill in the United States. This is one of your last chances to own jeans from this historic denim mill, If you own a pair of American-made jeans, like Levis Vintage, Raleigh, Tellason, Leftfield, Baldwin or 3x1, the denim comes from Cone. The reason people still buy from Cone Mills is simple, the fabrics at their White Oak plant are woven on the same Draper X3 shuttles the company bought in the 1940s, which gives the denim a stiffer hand and slubbier texture compared to more modern manufacturing techniques Larger high-end denim brands will be able to adjust to the closure and buy selvedge from Japan, but the demise of White Oak will have significant consequences for smaller American companies, whose identities are tied to the notion of a product made entirely in the US. Furthermore, prices are expected to increase on the selvedge market, which may put smaller makers out of business. Relatively speaking, Cone Mill was roughly 30% cheaper than Japanese denim, says Luke Cho, buyer and owner of Chicagos Mildblend. Because Cone Mills denim has historically been produced domestically, the material was generally accessible for weekend crafters. There is gonna be a lot of small companies who are not gonna be able to make things anymore, says Cho. Once the factory closes, Cho expects the value of White Oak jeans to skyrocket. The price is going to go up because of the scarcity. Its a really sad situation because the factory is going to close and they re going to do the most production they ve probably done in a long time. Years from now, he imagines collectors will one day be coveting jeans made from White Oak selvedge, which will likely be cut and sewn in Japan, and then sold back to US consumers at a very hefty price.
